[EEG and the action of TRH: comparison with amitriptyline].
A comparative evaluation of the EEG provocative action of TRH and amitriptyline was performed on 15 epileptic patients. TRH slightly increased the EEG abnormalities of 6 patients without giving important side effects. Amitriptyline was effective on 11 patients, but in two instances, gave rise to an epileptic fit.
